G'day everybody!
Everything is going ok with us, I worked in the city on the weekend and am again on Friday, they are really long days, getting up at 4:45am and not getting home til after 7-8 o'clock, there is no way I could do it with a newborn/young baby thats for sure! The money will come in handy of course, there is a mega list for our house that we need...after all this rain the top of it is a dryer! And I have a massive drycleaning bill ($500) for my wedding dress (7yr old stains....)!!!!!!!!!!Wtf?
Beau is going great, lots of new words, he isnt at the 'parrot' stage yet though! We went to playgroup on Monday (we normally go Thursday) just to get him out of the house as we have a bit of cabin fever - He is going really well there now and not rough which makes it easier. Been feeling a bit low, I dont think the weather helps, I want to look into doing a pilates class or something, feeling a bit of a frump!
Mel, good on you on you weight loss! Been doing anything specific? Good on you having a good rest. Beau is still obsessed with the fridge so we still tie the handles off. Little Olivia is definately trying to get your attention with Becca, poor things when they will do anything for some mummy time - even if it is getting in trouble! Are you still breastfeeding Becca? I cant remember when you were going to stop - I hope her feeds speed up for you soon!
Dis - LOL at your house cleaning, isnt it the worst? You should be proud getting all of you out of the house for 9:30! Thats awesome! Good luck with Jared's test, I havnt heard of that disease either, sounds very unusual, is it? Little Ben sounds adorable reading his little book and dozing off all on his own...what a big boy! How is he coping with Jared now?
Kaz - Good to hear from you, sorry you have been unwell. Nothing too serious? I have seen the fires in the Dandenongs the last few days on the news, hope they get it out soon or you get some of our rain from up north. Hugs x
Ok, i am going to keep housecleaning while b is asleep, my brother is staying over tonight and he hasnt seen our house yet so the 'guest' rooms have to be de-junked!

Mel, well done on the weight loss! As soon as I get the all clear at six weeks, I'm joining a gym with my sister. Mum is going to look after the three kids (incl my niece) while we go. I'm so excited that it's a bit sad
Jen, Ben has cabin fever, but there isn't much I can do about it. I'm thinking I might have to take him to Lollipops or one of those places soon just so he can run riot. Don't you love all the new words? Ben is at the parrot stage and he seems to know which words he really SHOULDN'T say and makes sure he repeats those ones
Maple Syrup Urine Disease is very rare. I really don't think Jared has it.
Feeling great right now. The boys each had a four hour nap today, with three hours overlapping! It means mummy got a two hour nap too
Oh I'm back. Olivia went off to bed at 630...asleep in her toddler bed by 645. No day sleep again, so am hoping that she sleeps through in her bed.
Anyway I think i was saying that i was going to do personal training, just waiting to hear from my brothers. I need to work out who will look after the girls.
Jen- holy cow on the dry cleaning bill, must have been some good stains!!! And thats a long day to work. Hope you can get some time to do something for yourself.
mel- yay on the sleep. I go to the indoor play centre at least once a week to meet up with mothers group and if I am over being inside! Olivia loves it and she usually wears herself out. With the Mayple Syrup Disorder, would J be showing symptoms now? when do you get his results back.
Hey Kaz- good to hear from you, sorry you are sick. Have you been coping with the fires near by? Its real smoky down here, but i think there are fires at Langwarrin today too.
Got Beccas ultrasound tomorrow then review next Thursday. Should go shower.....
Wow girls, I'm finding it so hard to keep up. So sorry to be neglecting you all!!
Well, I'll just start from the last few posts, I won't go all the way back to where I last posted!!
Mel, congrats on losing weight! I wish I could focus enough on losing weight! I just can't seem to do it. I am losing some, but r e a l l y s l o w l y! I guess that's a good way to do it, but it's painful! I just want it all gone. I have lost 18kg's since having Liam (wow, has it been THAT much!?!?) but I still have about that to lose still .
Oh no @ Olivia hurting Becca. Lily does sometimes too, particularly when she's tired. She lays on top of him and sits on him at any opportunity! When he's on his tummy he doesn't seem to mind, but on his tummy he cries. I don't blame him, LOL! She gave him a bit of dry nutrigrain today, eeeekkk!! He was quite happily gnawing on it when I took it off him!
Jen, so glad to hear everything is going well. Beau sounds like he's doing great! You are doing huge hours! I couldn't do that long even without kids! I don't know how you're managing without a dryer at the mo...how ridiculous is this weather????
We have serious cabin fever here too, this rain absolutely sucks! Although we need it, I really hate the rain...Lily was at SIL's today while I was at work and when I came to pick her up she refused to come with me!! Little monkey.
Mel, I hope Jared is ok with his ***** test. But as you say if he has no other symptoms, he will probably be fine. But still it's scarey. Everything is scarey when they're so little. I'm only just now starting not to absolutely fret over Lily, poor kid!
Hey you wanna come to my house to clean, I just can't get on top of it with working and studying now...the day doesn't have enough hours. I cleaned the kitchen this morning and did a load of washing and folding and its all a mess again....I cooked dinner and did another load of washing and it's all just everywhere again, it's never ending!
Four hour naps, OMG!!!! I would kill for 2 hrs!
Well as for us, we have been ok. I have been struggling a bit with everything though. Just working those three hours a day has really thrown me off. I'm struggling a bit with getting it all done.
Lil's sleeping is no better, no worse (could it get worse??). DH is now just bringing her into our room and sleeping with her, so the four of us are in there! But I like it that way sometimes. I do really miss DH in our bed though. We do struggle a bit as a couple. We have so little time just us. We argue like we never have. But it's for a short time (looking in the long term!) and it is nice to have snuggles with the kids and DH some days. I jsut don't know what to do with her! Liam is getting there with better sleeps every now and then, he's having a day or two of 1-2 wakes a night then other nights it's 3-4 times a night. What can I say...some days are better than others.
Lily has been going to occaisional care some days when I go to work. She absolutely loves it! She won't come home when Mum goes to pick her up and doesn't stop babbling when she sees me, telling me all about it! It's so cute!! Other wise she's with DH when he's in between whifts for work. Liam stays with mum on the days Lil's at CC.
Ok, that's about it, I think I've waffled on long enough
ahhh Kel, sorry to hear you're still ahving sleep issues.
Mel - becca's ultrasound?
Jen - how the heck did you do that? I just would't cope at all with that! The discipline you must have!
Kris - *hugs8
Us - little bugger's driving me batty, still biting and I'm his chief target. But he's starting to help out more with tasks, I wish DH would actually give him tasks instead of treating him like a "baby" !!!!
Fires - well yes, the Belgrave Fire on sunday just gone was in my street.
Kaz- everything ok? Geez it must have been scary having the fires in your street.
Rebecca has a hip review, so hoping we get the all clear. She needed to have it because of Olivias hips. Bugger with Pips biting. Do you bite him back? Mum said thats what she did to us when we bit and then we stopped. It has to be a good one though! I tried it with liv but cant really do it, so now I say dont bite, just kisses...it works!!!
Well Olivia woke up at 2am ready to play, then she woke her sister. She settled by about 3am in our bed, where dh slept fine and I got constantly kicked. Needless to say, I am tired.
Ok shes pulling the chairs up to the bench to help type....
We had Becs ultrasound today for her hips. The left one hasnt improved, so we have to wait til next Thursday to see what they will do. I was really hoping things would be better so that she wouldnt have to go into a harness like Olivia. Am actually feeling sick about it.
I think Olivia is coming down with something too.....
